Dell Vostro 1520 (Core2Duo , 4GB, 128GB SSD)

The Dell Vostro 1520 is aimed at users with no exceptional demands of a notebook, who first and foremost need basic functions like e-mail, internet, word processing and image manipulation. Models with the matt screen are sensible for long-term office use and for travelling. Its low starting price is also an important factor.

The machine may not offer any highlights in terms of its case, design or connectivity, but it does consistently meet the demands of a basic model for small to mid-size firms. This is also true of the keyboard and touchpad.

The screen is available in matt, and the maximum screen resolution is 1440 x 900 pixels in 16:10 format.

The processing power is enough to cover basic office activities as well as light multimedia use. A further positive feature is the respectable battery life, meaning the Vostro 1520 can be used for a reasonably long time away from a power source.
